Our take
Independent boys prep school in Camden for ages 4–13. Non-selective intake.
- Families looking for a prep school covering ages 4–13.
- Parents who want a single-sex environment for their son.
- Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
- Single-sex (boys). Comfortable for some children, less so for others — worth a visit on a normal teaching day rather than only an open-day showcase.
